Bad management. Old boys network.
Pros
Minimal. Cellphone and internet compensation. Updated IT equipment. Compensated for IT training and certifications.
Cons
Managers are not qualified, they have simply been there the longest. Total lack of direction in IT. Most of their IT framework is based on 40+ year old technology. STRONG resistance to change. Several "dinosaurs" in place that will hold back the company in power. The best interest of the business takes a back seat to the personal gains of the company. There is so many people with IT Titles that do not know what a USB port is. Acquisitions are done from the book "How not to do acquisitions". Very little accomplished each day as most of the days are spent in useless meetings that will take place 10 times with the same result. This is a stagnant IT organization with little to no chance for growth. Backstabbing is commonplace. This was a good stepping stone where I learned a great deal, but I would not recommend it to anyone who truly cares about their job and what they do each day. Work/Life Balance is horrendous. There is many weeks where I worked from sun up to when I passed out. Bad employees are kept to fester like a bad piece of meat in a refrigerator. Good employees are not compensated and simply worked to makeup the difference.
